Quote by Alistair Sutton

“A good book was like a fondly remembered lover. You could think back and say, yes I enjoyed it, it was satisfying, and even, if only fleetingly, it may have touched your soul.. You could recall the good bits and overlook the faults, and even when it was cast aside, you could think of it with affection.”

"Oh God," I said "That's horrible. And she...she just let it happen?" "She did." The corner of his mouth turned into a sly, sad smile.

“Sweat isn't a bad thing," he said, leaning his head against the wall thoughtfully. "Some of the best things in life happen while your sweating.
